Rumorville is back by popular request! Please do not take any of the rumors you read on this page too seriously.Better yet, think of Rumorville items as one big, fat, lie--just a gimmick to keep the hungry masses coming back for more. If you prefer to snack on something more nutritious, stick to our Spoilers and News.

Rumorville:
Those of you who follow our News Page know there is a new casting call
out there. I have already said in the Spoilerholic thread in our forum
that it was most likely a male. I have now seen the side and the fact
is that the role of "Erik" sounds suspiciously similar to the role of Michael
Corinthos, currently occupied by Chad Duell. Oh...and in this version, "Jason" agrees to allow "Erik" to join to mob. See our GH News Page for a link to the audition script.... Continue reading ...

Rumorville: No confirmation, but gossip has it that that Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio) may make a return as part of Robin's (Kimberly McCullough) exit storyline. So keep your fingers crossed! (Can we expect to hear of other potential returns as well?)

Ethan may soon be Occupying Wyndemere... as its caretaker.

Dante has no choice but to arrest Jason.

Hearing that Andrea Bogart may be exiting GH. Seems anvils of Abby's demise are already dropping.

Rumorville: Its looking like Lucky is leaving Port Charles...but Jonathan Jackson is not. It seems our previous rumors regarding JJ playing the REAL Ronan are coming to fruitition. While Lucky goes to Ireland, it is Ronan who will make his way to Port Charles. How long before his friends and family notice that this Lucky is not THEIR Lucky? Ronan O'Reilly will be involved with Johnny Zacchara, among others.

Rumorville: In this week's CBS SID, Genie Francis appears to have confirmed that despite the speculation that has been floating around the net, she is sticking with The Young and The Restless and has no plans for a return to General Hospital any time soon.

Apparently, her concern is even if she were to come back to GH, it would be only for a month or two as in her previous returns--and she doesn't want that. She wants to work! Genie also mentioned that she had been wanting to return to GH f...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Look what I found! Actress Lilah Richcreek's audition tape for the GH role of "Gina Solieta", the only daughter of a NY Crime boss. In this scene she is talking to "Johnny", the son of rival gang members who she has a not-so-secret crush on, about putting a hit out on her father. Is her vague similarity to Lexi Ainsworth in appearance, as well as the conversation in the scene, a mere co-incidence...or NOT? Watch and decide for yourself.

Rumorville: For the last two weeks rumors have been running rampant on the net that Lexi Ainsworth has been let go in order to recast the role of Kristina with a more mature looking actress. Ever since the rumors began, Lexi, a formerly prolific tweeter, has not been back on twitter.

Last week when Nancy Lee Grahn was asked about the rumor, she simply replied, "No Comment". Thus far, no one has been able to confirm the rumors, while some sources have outright denied that there is any truth...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Despite
what was previously announced, the latest buzz has it that the ink may
not be dry on the OLTL's Head Writer's agreement to move to GH as a
script writer once OLTL departs from the ABC line-up. Word is that Ron Carlivati may be close to signing with Prospect Park's version of OLTL which is slated to begin in January of 2012. Stay tuned...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: With the news that Tristan Rogers has been let go from The Young and The Restless (see our Y&R Spoiler page), there has been speculation that Genie Francis, whose character is deeply intertwined with Roger's, could soon make her exit as well. The latest buzz on the net (take with a big grain of salt) is that one or both (most likely Genie) is in contact with GH to discuss a possible return. Thus far, she appears to be firmly entrenched at the Y&R.

By the time Ethan is ready to acknowledge his feelings for Kristina to both himself and Kristina, she may no longer believe that his feelings are true. Look for a significant moment for Ethan and Kristina right around Halloween.

Rumorville: Word is that Krisitina's situation has some similarities to Jason's.

Her symptoms are not a recurrence of her aplastic anemia that she had as an
infant. Rather, they are an indication of some kind of residual disorder
that is related to the earlier car bombing. (This refers to when Sonny
planted a bomb in Johnny's car when he believed the two were dating,
not realizing that Kristina would be with Johnny.) Supposedly, this involves some swelling in the brain.

Rumorville: Out
of all the fantasies that the women in his life have while he lies in a
coma, only Sam's involves Jason as he is now. In Sam's fantasy, they
are married and having a child together. However, in Liz's "dream",
Jason is not in the mob and wears a suit, but he may not be the "nice
guy" one might imagine "non-mobular" Jason to be. Monica imagines her
family as it might have been if Jason had become a Doctor, while Carly's
fantasy gives a different twist to her friendship...

Rumorville: Word is that the twist (mentioned in our Spoilers, under Coming Attractions) is that Siobhan does indeed die, but the actress currently playing her, Erin Chambers, will stay on...as a new character!

Rumorville: According to Karen over at WUBS, there is a possibility
that Richard Dean Anderson (MacGuyver, Stargate) may make a cameo guest
appearance on GH during February Sweeps! Anderson played fan favorite
of Dr. Jeff Webber on the soap from 1976 to 1981. (For info on his
character and family connections , see our Character Descriptionpage in the History section of our site.)

Rumorville: Despite an outright denial to SID by Jill Farren Phelps as was reported last weekend, now we are hearing that Tamara Braun actually IS coming to GH after all! Supposedly, she will debut in the coming weeks...

Rumorville: Looks like something that was expected to happen under Guza may actually happen under Garin's watch. Once again, we are hearing that Jonathan Jackson may soon be playing a true dual role when the real Ronan, alive and well, arrives in Port Charles. Time will tell!

Rumorville: The gossip mill has it that if/when ABC cancels GH in 2012 (as many are predicting to be inevitable despite ABC claims to the otherwise), Prospect Park has rights to broadcast the
show for 10 years, just as in the case of AMC and OLTL.

On a related note, apparently Prospect Park has been slow to begin negotiations with most of the AMC cast, fueling rumors that AMC's start on the web will be delayed until January of 2012. Original reports had AMC slated to premiere on the web in ...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: UPDATE: This casting call has since been confirmed: GH is casting a contract role for the character of Dr. Ewen Keenan. He's 30, blonde (or dirty blonde) with blue eyes. Handsome and masculine but accessible. He is an analyst who heals outside of the rules. A man with nothing to prove. A big, unpredictable kid at heart, broad and expansive one moment, and tender the next. Kind, affable and funny. He's also prone to sudden periods of brooding melancholia, some moment in his own p...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: For weeks now, rumors have been swirling about the possibility of one or more Quartermaines returning (beyond Monica). On Tuesday's episode, Eddie Q. and Carly did some name dropping regarding Edward's potential heirs beyond Michael. Predictably, Dillon and Ned were mentioned, but it was the last person mentioned (and whether he had any offspring) that should have us all sitting up and taking notice...Jimmy Lee Holt.

Rumorville: Rumors are growing stronger that ABC has received offers from other networks to purchase All My Children and One Life To Live and has declined to sell both shows. This, despite their previous, public, assurances that they would be more than willing to sell the two productions. If true, the question is why?

Some
say it is because they don't want egg on their face should these shows
go on to success elsewhere. Others say that they want to keep the shows
(OLTL in particular) ...

Rumorville: Interesting tweet from Robin Strasser in which she claims that One Life to Live's head writer, Ron Carlivati will be joining General Hospital as a script writer with hopes of becoming a co-head writer.

Rumorville: Net Rumors are circulating that Jill Farren Pelps, General Hospital's Exec. Producer, may be replaced with One Life to Live's Exec.Producer, Frank Valentini, this fall. There has been no confirmation from reliable sources. Believe it...or not!Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Word is that it was General Hospital's Executive Producer, Jill Farren Phelps, rather that ABC Daytime head Brian Frons, who was the bearer of the bad news to Guza. Supposedly, Guza stormed out of the ABC offices right then and there. This may be where the, "effective immediately", came from in the ABC press release regarding the change in head writers, as well as the lack of public thank you's for Guza's contributions to the show.

Rumorville:
Don't be surprised if Lucky begins to have conflicting feelings
involving both Siobhan and Liz after Aiden's paternity is revealed. If
anyone is the aggressor in a possible future LL2 reunion, it will be
Lucky, not Liz.Continue reading ...

Rumorville: As we've previously reported (see two related articles below) , Couric is close to signing a $20 million deal with ABC for a daytime
talk show as well as a significant role at ABC News. Now, TMZ is speculating that Couric's one-hour
syndicated show could possibly premiere in September 2012 in General Hospital's current time slot. OR...that Couric could replace one of ABC's upcoming lifestyle shows,should either fail. Both shows are replacing ABC's axed soaps, AMC and OLTL.

Rumorvillle: In the aftermath of discovering that Aiden is not his son, but Lucky's, Nikolas learns about the orphaned Lucian. Nikolas takes Lucian under his wing and departs Port Charles, taking both Lucian and Spencer with him.Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Despite previous denials by Brian Frons that he has been in talks with Katie Couric, insiders are saying that she now appears headed for a deal at ABC.

ABC has made a big push for a Couric talk show, sweetening the pot. According to TVGuide, one person close to Couric described the ABC move as "a distinct possibility." An ABC spokesperson refused to comment.

ABC's last minute surge to get Couric may be driven by the loss of The Oprah Winfrey Show on its owned and operated TV stati...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Apparently GH is casting the recurring role of Javier, who is hispanic, early 30's, sexy intense, dangerous and charasmatic. (It is said to be short term, 2 to 4 weeks, at least for now.)

In other news, rumors continue that General Hospital may be on the chopping block for the fall of 2012. The only thing that seems certain is that a decision will be made either way by February of 2012. Meanwhile, GH is facing some deep budget cuts.

"ABC Daytime honcho Brian Frons is in hot water over the cancellation of One Life to Live and All My Children,
sources said. After Hoover announced it will yank ads over the soap
axing, other advertisers like Hershey’s and L’Oreal are getting heat
from consumers to pull ads. Insiders are pointing at Frons, with
whispers he may be in his final days.

Rumorville: So what does Lisa initially hope to gain by drugging Robin? According to one version, Kristina passes out from the drug while babysitting Emma. Lisa uses that opportunity to plant spycams in Robin and Patrick's house. Apparently, Lisa wants to observe how the reconciliation is progressing. She is hoping to see if there is anything she can use to break the couple apart. The situation worsens when Lisa observes more than she bargained for--and she is none to happy about it either....Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Word is that just before dying, Suzanne tells Sonny that Lucian is not Brenda's son (but the truth is out there....somewhere). Will Sonny tell Brenda what he knows (that her son is alive)?Or will he only share the truth with Carly?

Dr. Lisa Niles (Brianna Brown) may finally be out of Robin and Patrick's hair...and out of Port Charles.

Rumorville: UPDATED"Even though other soaps are being canceled, we're still dedicated to ours. We're very proud of them and have big plans for the future."--Brian Frons, December 2009, TV Guide Magazine (after CBS announced that, "As The Word Turns", had been canceled.)

"Soap fans should take some comfort in knowing that, 'General Hospital', will not be affected by the changes and, in fact, should remain on ABC for a “long, long time.”--Brian Frons, April 2011, Entertainment Weekly (afte...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: "....sources indicate there’s
a strong chance that ABC will put a network daytime slot on the table
when the bidding for [Katie Couric's new talk show] begins in earnest as she sets her segue from
The CBS Evening News. It’s no secret that ABC intends to pare down its three-hour slate of daytime sudsers (All My Children,General Hospital and One Life to Live)
in the coming years."

"A Couric show could be a high-profile transition
for the Alphabet in one of the time slots ...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Despite rumors of One Life to Live's pending cancellation, SOD is reporting that Roger Howarth (the original Todd Manning) will begin filming scenes on the daytime drama beginning
in May. "I am looking forward to returning, We are going to have a lot of fun telling this story and I am excited
to see how it will unfold." The story involves
Tea's brother Tomas (Ted King),, ex-Lorenzo/Luiz Alcazar, GH) and his unexplained interest in Todd and his family.

Rumorville: According to Soaps in Depth's editor, it has been confirmed that All My Children is NOT being canceled. Apparently Lorraine Broderick has been named as the soap's new headwriter. SID's Richard swears it is official. Broderick signed a multi-year deal as head writer, replacing David Kreizman and Donna Swajeski.
Broderick, who has has a long history with the soap and the daytime community, returned to AMC as associate head writer in 2009
and has earned four Emmys with the sudse...Continue reading ...

Rumorville:The buzz is that ABC is not just planning to cancel All My Childrenin the coming days but will very likely cancel One Life to Live,as
well. According to TVGuide, word is that ABC Daytime chief Brian Frons has a talk show and
reality show lined up for fall — both of them much cheaper to produce
than soaps — and he needs to clear the schedule. More disturbing,
insiders say Frons has been extremely cavalier about all this, showing
no signs of sorrow or regret about a dra...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Lisa drugs Kristina, possibly on more than one occasion, possibly causing her to unknowingly become addicted.She then cuts her off unless Kristina does her bidding...and yes it has to do with Lisa's Patrick issues.

Rumorville:UPDATE: See our News page for the latest regarding Tyler's status.According to SOD, an insider reports that GH's Tyler Christopher was let go on Friday. If true, this wouldn't be too surprising to folks who have been keeping up with our News Page.

And, more recently, Tyler was quoted in the March 22nd edition of SOD. He was talking about his new pilot, The Lying Game, which has been picked up by the ABC Family Channel. Interestingly, the series is written and executive produ...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Suzanne may have even more going on than was revealed today...and even Theo may be in the dark about it.For one thing, Brenda's baby may still be alive and Suzanne may be keeping him from Theo.

Jake being seriously injured and possibly dying is a rumor that just won't away, and for good reason.

Rumorville: Sam being in the same position as she was with Alexis may happen, but, not necessarily in the same way it was originally rumored. This is where the "controversial storyline" that Steve Burton recently referred to may come in.

Rumorville: Remember our very old item in our Spoilers (still under coming attractions) about CSI Robin and a murder mystery involving GH staff members? And the one about Patrick and Robin facing life or death issues? Looks like its happening as February sweeps comes to an end. Robin may soon be in need of a good attorney. Nothing is how it seems.

Rumorville: Brenda's secret may really surprise you...Carly and Jax's marriage is in ruins...Jax and Brenda fans will have a little something to enjoy, a little now, and a bit more later...Dante and Lulu fans will be surprised and pleased as a result of what happens at the S&B wedding...Robin and Patrick reunite before February's end...Tracy gets a bit of her own story ...Lisa's time on GH is coming to an end...Olivia fans may soon be unhappy...Johnny gets even darker...Jason chooses Sam.... Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Talk of Brenda going "boom" after her wedding in a limo abounds, however, this time the bride survives. How long before her groom is aware of that though? Will the Balkan pull the ultimate bait and switch...or does someone else have that honor...?Who is among the injured? And...whose feet are these?

Rumorville: There is apossibility that newcomer, Shawn, (seeNews andSpoilers) may have an affiliation with Theo.

Head writer, Bob Guza, denied rumors that Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo is leaving GH. In SID, he states that as far as he knows she will be around until at least the end of her one year contract. He also affirms that Theo will be around through May.

Rumorville: After Sonny and Brenda have a misunderstanding, Brenda turns to Dante and Dante shuts her down cold by telling Brenda that he loves Lulu. Look for a shift in writing in the latter half of February.

Liz fans are not going to be happy with her impending storyline (and exit)

In early February, Sam begins to experience symptoms of pregnancy....it will be confirmed before the end of the month.

Rumorville:In the chaos that follows after
Carly drops her bombshell immediately following Sonny and Brenda's wedding, and Brenda (and possilbly Dante) disappear, Jason is the only one who
suspects foul play (a kidnapping).

Rumorville: There is a new casting call out for General Hospital that could be for a new or returning character, but the description sure sounds a lot like Brenda Barrett! You decide, the description is just below...

The role of Grace: Caucasian, around 35 years of age. Beautiful, dynamic and glamourous. She is the daugher of a wealthy entrepeneur. She is fearless, mercurial, and a bit spoiled. It is for a contract role and they are seeking an established actresses from either daytime or pri...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Gossip has it that Michael's "confession" scenes of what occurred to him in prison will be both graphic (if it airs as envisioned) and devastating, and could afford newcomer, Chad Duell, a shot at an Emmy.

As for the fall out, while Sonny may be grateful to Abby for helping Michael acknowledge and face his demons.Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Jason's reaction to the possibility that Sam could become pregnant (with the help of a medical procedure) may come back to haunt him.Will Sam decide to keep Jason at arms length when she discovers she is pregnant? Will Sam's pregnancy put her in a precarious position down the road?What happens when Franco learns of her pregnancy (plans for mini-Stone Cold)?This could be one very long story arc.

Jason finally gives Spinelli, Carly and Sonny the big kiss off and it looks like ...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Jonathon Jackson may yet have another opportunity to put on his Irish brogue, only this time he won't be Lucky pretending to be Ronan O'Reilly--he will be Ronan O'Reilly...in the flesh. It is possible that the elusive hitman's death has been greatly exaggerated.

Rumorville: Look for both laughter and tears during the coming year in the marriage of Ethan and Maya as both get involved in Edward's schemes. Sadly, word from two sources indicates that Maya will be diagnosed with a terminal illness at some point down the road.

Rumorville: Following up on our Rumorville item of December 8th, gossip says that not only is Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo leaving GH sooner than thought, but that she is pregnant! Her exit is said to be a mutual decision.Vanessa's likely departure coincides with the rumored story that Brenda disappears within days of her wedding to Sonny! Brenda, the character, will not be pregnant. Take with a huge grain of salt.

Rumorville: Do y'all recall when Kristina's life hung in the balance and Alexis begged Sam to deliver early so K could have her baby's cord blood? Look for Sam to be in a similar situation again, but this time with Liz doing the pleading. This could lead to a shocking reveal...

Rumorville: Theo is actually the Balkan, who plans to find out what he wants from Brenda via her best friend Robin. At the same time, he plans on taking over Sonny Corinthos' territory...he gains access to Sonny's affairs, and attempts to obtain some revenge against others via "legal" means. That doesn't mean illegal methods are not employed as well. The Balkan is after revenge and increasing his power base, among other things. Anyone who gets in the way is just collateral damage.

Rumorville: After his initial appearance in February of 2011, Franco will return towards the end of the year, supposedly to create his masterpiece via the simultaneous birth of a child juxtaposed against the death of its mother, i.e. Sam and baby to be.

Rumorville: Looks like Olivia may be in need of serious medical attention, possibly surgery, after the bus disaster.She will be one among many.Look for some intense scenes between Dante and his mother.

Rumorville: There is chatter that Vanessa Marcil (Brenda) may exit the show in a few months time... Rumors persist that both Brandon Barash (Johnny) and Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) are on their way out, although at differents points in time.

Regarding the bus accident mentioned below-- it could turn out to be a realCliff-Hanger...

Rumorville: There is word that GH is taping a tragedy involving a bus crash. Matt, Maxie, Olivia, Steve, Molly, Michael, Morgan, Patrick, Robin, Lisa and others are said to be involved. That could explain this pic:

Rumorville: A SID editor appears to be confirming rumors you have read here before. He hinted during a recent podcast that there are indications that Jason and Sam will wind up with a baby in 2011. He went on to say to expect Jason and Sam to learn that she is carrying a miracle baby in the coming month or so.

Rumorville: Perhaps the bullet that a woman shoots just as someone receives a marriage proposal is literal and not figurative as previously rumored (see Rumorville item from 11//11)? Perhaps that woman is Carly? Will Carly reveal what she thinks she knows about Dante and Brenda during the gathering for the Quartermaine wedding?

Rumorville: Carly will eventually come across some paperwork, possibly a birth certificate, listing Dante as the father of Brenda's baby... However, Alexander was the father of Brenda's baby.

From a different source: Brenda believes her baby died shortly after birth... Sam may be the first person in PC to encounter Brenda's child, although she may be unaware of the child's connection to Brenda.As always, GOS.

Rumorville: Carly finds out about Brenda's baby, which she believes to be Dante's.(Dante and Brenda may just have to allow her to keep believing that, causing problems for Dante and Lulu.)Michael comes to Abby's rescue when someone attacks her; his violent reaction does not go unnoticed by Abby and she begins to put two and two together about what happened to him in prison.

Rumorville: When Jerry snatches Sam- and Carly and Brenda are in
danger- Sonny and Dante leave Jason out of the loop; watch for Jason's
reaction.

Take a huge heaping spoonful of salt with this one...Sonny
proposes marriage to a woman just before Christmas. Before she can give
him an answer a shot rings out--and one of them is hit by the
bullet--from a gun wielded by another woman!

Another bit which may or may not be worth a grain...Brandon Barash
(Johnny) may be exiting the show ...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: According to Michael Logan of TV Guide, Brenda and Dante "not only share a past, but they also 'had a child together', although
fans won't know the whole story for weeks. We're sworn to secrecy about
that."

Rumorville: Edward wants Ethan to remain his new son in law for the next year so that Ethan can represent the Quartermaine interests in an unsavory deal, a con job as it were, involving the Balkan. Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of Edward's initial, original dealings with Luke and the Cassadines (dating back to the Ice Princess story)?

Rumorville: Oldtimers will recall when Robin befriended the reclusive novelist, P.K. Sinclair, who turned out to be the evil Cesar Faison's alter-ego. Pretty soon, Robin will become friendly with another reclusive man, her patient Theo Hoffman (who may be posing as an art collector and) who could very well turn out to be The Balkan. Meanwhile, Brenda's recently spurned beau was named Murphy Sinclair. Coincidence? You decide. Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Spinelli turns down an investigative job to help Brenda with her website.It puts Sam in a difficult situation but it is advantageous to Lucky.

After getting both Nancy's and our hopes up, it looks like Alexis' story may be up in the air yet again. Now would be a good time to pick up the phone and call the GH Comment Line and let them know you are missing seeing Nancy Lee Grahn on screen: 323-671-4583. Just dial and leave a message. It wouldn't hurt to dash off a letter or post...Continue reading ...

Rumorville; Some interesting rumors floating around, both good, bad and middling. Alexis' story which she hinted about, further below, may be pushed back yet again, to February. Seems Nancy Lee Grahn is none too happy about it either.

Jason is about to go through a very difficult period, and he will have to do it alone. He will not have Sam, Sonny, Carly or Spinelli around for support.

Jerry leaves a path of destruction in his path. He will interact with Sam, Brenda, Dante, Robin and Patrick...Continue reading ...

Rumorville:
What better way to end the month of October than with a Masquerade
Ball, especially if it is for a good cause? As frequently happens
whenever the citizens of Port Charles gather for a gala, be on the look
out for disaster which, in this case, will carry us into November
sweeps. Grain of salt and all that.

Rumorville: According to Nancy Lee Grahn, she might have a big surprise. She hints that it could involve her character, Alexis, and someone who is very compelling. She can't reveal more right now, but says the potential is huge. (Hmmm...the evil Balkan perhaps? Could he be Sam's father?)

Unfortunately, other than a short scene she has coming up with Claire, we won't see Alexis again until the third week of October. So whatever the huge surprise is, it likely is a winter storyline.

Rumorville: Tyler Christopher's tweet earlier this month indicating that next year's GH Fan Club Weekend will be his last has speculation running rampant that he may leave GH when his contract expires next June.

Rumorville: In a recent interview, TVGuide asked Michael Sutton (Stone), who is already making a brief return this month, if there is any truth to the rumor that he might return to GH yet again to counsel a certain mobster. Sutton replied, "Yeah, they've certainly left it open for Stone and Sonny to have some conversations. I like the idea, because it's a setup that's not cheesy."

BTW, Michael Sutton currently owns the smoking hot West Hollywood lounge, Guys & Dolls, THE place to see and be ...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Lisa LoCicero hinted in a recent interview that viewers should look for more scenes between Olivia and Steven Webber, with a possible Steven, Olivia and Johnny triangle. (Editor's note- which could turn into a quadrangle!)

Rumorville: Brenda may have seen something that she does not remember due to being previously drugged in a similar manner to Lulu. Bits and pieces will begin to come back to her after her return to Port Charles. Look for a Crimson connection.

When Patrick mistakenly takes the blame for Lisa's death, Robin and Matt will put their CSI skills to work.

Rumorville: Gossip abounds that Genie Francis may be returning in the winter, possibly to coincide with the reveal of Lucky as the father of Liz's newest offspring and just in time to throw another complication into the renewal of Luke and Tracy's relationship.

Good news! It is looking more and more likely that Spinelli isn't going anywhere. :-)

Rumorville: Although completely unconfirmed, there are net rumors that claim Damian Spinelli and/or Claire Walsh may be on their way out...either way, at least ONE significant GH player is leaving Port Charles in a body bag during the month of July..

Vanessa is rumored to be taping at least one episode with Franco.

There may be another big return by a GH Vet some months down the road.

The new doctor headed to town (seeNews) has some Port Charles connections.

Rumorville: Not anytime soon, but way, waaaay down the road, don't be surpised to see a Luke and Laura redo of sorts-- in the form of Ethan and Kristina. For the immediate future, Ethan will be involved with Maya, and Kristina will be single.

SID reports that James Franco wants his real-life mother, Betsy, to play Franco's mom. What are the chances of the casting actually happening? When asked for comment, a GH rep responded with a sly "Maybe.

Rumorville: It's possible. Apparently there is a casting call out for someone who fits Brenda'sdescription, for one day only, at the end of Franco's storyline... There are also rumors that Brenda may be part of a fall storyline Guza has in the works.

Sam finds a beaten Jason in isolation.Carter taunts Jason by saying/insinuating that he raped/will rape Michael.Jason's reaction could prove lethal.

Dante has some serious doubts when Lulu claims that Brook Lynn is playing games.

Rumorville: Update: See ourNews page for the announcement. Not Brenda.According to SID, GH will be making a big announcement on Tuesday, May 18th. Sources are hinting that they will be trumpeting the return of Vanessa Marcil as Brenda.Stay tuned...

Rumorville: Liz may discover that crying wolf lands her in trouble when she really needs help. Liz tries to get Lucky's attention by fabricating a threat from Helena. When Lucky learns that Helena could not possibly have done the deed, he promises himself not to be drawn into the game the next time. What happens when down the road the threat is real?

Rumorville: According to a recent news article and interview in USA Today, James Franco is returning to GH this summer:

"For Franco, who returns to General Hospital this summer, it's
all a study in storytelling. 'Soap operas, yeah, generally people think
that's something to avoid, that's a 'low level' of entertainment,' he
says. 'But if you look at a lot of movies that are released in
theaters, they're just the same as soap operas.' ".

Rumorville:SOD states, contrary to what some fan reports said, that Franco will be back as soon as they can schedule it and the Cassadine story has only been pushed back, not scrapped. Zoe's entrance has been somewhat delayed (due to recent recasts).

Genie Frances MAY return this summer but is not yet in contract talks. Guza has told SOD, ""It is very much a part of our thinking now. We are not currently in negotiations, but I can easily see that from a story standpoint. I am not confirmin...Continue reading ...

Rumorville: Coleman is excused from juror duty. For a time Sonny's jury is unable to come to a unanimousverdict. . Michael confesses in an attempt to free his father but is not believed. It will be up to Dante to verify the evidence to back up Michael's confession. Meanwhile, someone is in lock-up and Diane may need to plan an insanity defense for Michael.

Rumorville: What happens to a young man, who had his whole future ahead of him, whose parents expect him to be a shining star and live up to the family legacy, whose Daddy is a controlling abusive jerk, when he has committed a crime against the daughter of a mob boss, shamed his family, and the walls are closing in? Who does he take his shame and anger out on?

Rumorville: Maya Ward will develop feelings for Ethan, who, in her mind is off-limits due to his new found mob associations. Meanwhile, Nikolas is in love with Liz, who is still in love with Lucky, who is still in love with Liz, but is in denial. Feel free to shuffle the pieces around. :-)

Someone new in town may carry a secret that could affect a family legacy.

Remember the birth certificate that Helena took from the back of the painting?

"We have actually been in contact with Vanessa [Marcil], and there is interest on both parts in seeing Brenda return...Just look at our canvas for Brenda to walk in right now: You've got Sonny reeling,you've got Jax about to be blown apart with Carly when she finds out about what he's been doing. There are all sorts of slots into which Brenda could insert herself – forgive the bad metaphor – and be very, very interesting."

Rumorville:Lucky discovers the truth for himself when he gets a glimpse of his brother and Liz in action in late January., Lucky is well prepared when he surprises everyone on his wedding day in a way that is reminiscent of Jax and Brenda's trip down the aisle. However, his surprise involves more than a mere interrupted ceremony. It is only the beginning. Liz's rights to the custody of her children may be challenged and support for Lucky may come from an unexpected place. Believe it...or...Continue reading ...

Rumorville:Liz wants to marry Lucky as soon as possible.Lucky asks Nik to be his best man.Nikolas may not be able to go through with losing another woman he loves.Someone speaks their piece at the LL2 wedding...
